Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) Any officer of the
Corporation may, at all reasonable times, enter upon any land connected with a
sewer or property sewer, and may examine and ascertain —
(a) what
quantity of sewage is being discharged;
(b)
whether there has been or is any blockage, leakage, misuse, or contamination
of the sewage or water; and
(c)
whether all fixtures and fittings, with the materials and mode of arrangement
thereof, used or intended to be used are in accordance with the by-laws, and
in proper order and repair.
(2) When a fixture or
fitting is not in accordance with the by-laws, or is out of proper order and
repair, or is causing damage to property or is causing or is likely to cause
injury to public health, the officer of the Corporation may repair or remove
it, and if necessary substitute others in its stead or may alter the mode of
arrangement, as the case requires. The power conferred by this subsection
shall be without prejudice to the provisions of section 33.
(3) Any expense
incurred by the Corporation in that behalf shall, on demand, be repaid by the
owner or occupier of the land and if not repaid on demand may be recovered by
the Corporation in the same manner in which sewerage charges may be recovered.
